'''Hash-based cryptography''' is the generic term for constructions of [[cryptographic primitive]]s based on one-timethe signaturesecurity schemesof combinedhash with [[Merkle tree]]sfunctions. So far, hash-based cryptography is limited to [[digital signature]]s schemes such as the [[Merkle signature scheme]]. Hash-based signature schemes combine a one-time signature scheme with a [[Merkle tree]] structure. [[Lamport signature]]s are a an example of a one-time signature scheme that can be combined with a Merkle tree structure. Hash-based cryptography is a type of [[post-quantum cryptography]].
